Makeup Wars: High End Brand Wars featuring Tarte

It is time for another Makeup Wars! This time the Makeup Wars bloggers are featuring their favorite high-end brands. For me, the decision was easy...I have been absolutely obsessed with all-things tarte cosmetics lately! So, I have decided to share with you some new favorites from tarte (and of course, will give a shout-out to my old faves from tarte as well!).

To hear more details about all of these items from tarte, please click "read more" below! :)

New Favorites from tarte:

maracuja neck treatment: (retails for $49 for 1.7 oz jar): This cream is sooooo luxe! As a young-feeling 40-year old woman (it feels so strange to write "woman"...but, I guess at 40 I should stop referring to myself as a girl???), I certainly want my neck and décolleté to look as young as my face. I will fully admit that I have neglected this area for years. You know what people say..."that if you want to know the age of a woman, look at her hands and neck". So, with that in mind, I am going to start taking care of this area starting with tarte's decadent cream! Infused with tarte’s miracle of maracuja™, along with sodium hyaluronate and algae extracts, this intensely hydrating formula works over time to help promote cell regeneration and skin elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. I apply this cream at night after washing my face. The ritual of applying it is so soothing! Not only is this one of my favorite new items from tarte, but also it is one of my favorite new additions to my skincare routine overall!

tartelette limited edition Amazonian butter lipstick in Ethereal Pink: This gorgeous Ethereal Pink shade is the perfect pinky nude lippie! The formula is amazing: a blend of murumuru and cupuacu butters from the Amazon! Plus, OMG, the packaging! Eco-chic is right! It is the perfect blend of whimsy and femininity. This shade is easy to wear, feels creamy, and the scent is so refreshing!

park ave princess™contour palette (retails for $34): I am in face palette heaven here! This gorgeous and sleek palette contains tarte's famous Park Ave Princess bronzer PLUS a gorgeous highlight (a buttery vanilla shade) and a matte neutral pale pink blush (universally flattering!). These are all packed with the long-wearing Amazonian clay formula. This palette is so sleek and slim for travel. I am always in a hurry getting ready and a face palette that includes all of the face essentials is really the only way that I ever bother with contouring. This palette is destined to be a long-term favorite!

clay pot Amazonian clay waterproof liner ($21) and the etch & sketch double-ended bamboo liner brush ($15): The combo of this potted Amazonian clay waterproof liner and this angled brush is my latest fool-proof (and budge-proof) liner look! This is tarte's classic waterproof potted liner formula with luxe new packaging! So, you are getting the same great formula with just an updated packaging look. I love the ultra long waterproof wear of this formula. Perfect for Summer with the heat and all the water activities! :) Plus the ergonomic tip of the etch & sketch brush makes it so easy to apply your liner!
